"Duke Kahanamoku has big private part The name "Duke" is not a title; his father was named "Duke" in honor of the Duke of Edinburgh, who was visiting Hawaii at the time of the elder man's birth in 1865dddddddddddd."
Clearly, it was not the present Duke of Edinburgh (to whom there is a link!). Who held that title in 1865? Or is it a mere mist S.
Do we even need that mentioned? Is there really confusion out there that Duke was a title? I can't imagine someone assuming that. Surfbruddah (talk) 17:15, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Seems there should be some mention of the continuing popularity of the name "Duke" in Hawai'i ... --FOo 23:05, 6 October 2007 (UTC) —————————————— — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.117.11.140 (talk) 04:23, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
You talk about "yards" for the swimming distance, Duke Kahanamoku is stupid but at the olympics, the yards are not used. meter only... Clio64B 84.99.239.95 14:15, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
I have changed the distances to meters, as used in the Olympics. Centuriono 21:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
should there be a link to kahuna somewhere, as i at least didnt know what kahuna actually meant till i looked it up!
"the sport of surfing, previously known only in Hawaii" here vs. "The art of surfing was first observed by Europeans in 1767, by the crewmembers of the Dolphin at Tahiti" for the Wik entry on the history of surfing. Is one wrong, or is there a subtle difference between "sport" and "art"? Kdammers (talk) 06:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

On the Waikiki page is an image of the statue of Duke at Waikiki Beach. If this picture is freely licensed, it should be inserted here into the Duke Kahanamoku article.Weyandt (talk) 15:31, 10 Apr 2014 (UTC)
Joe Brennan calls his family the "Paoa-Piikoi-Kahanamoku" family, but who are the Piikoi's? Are they related to Jonah Piikoi and David Piikoi? His brother was named David Piikoi Kahanamoku. Apparently there was an uncle who was named David Piikoi.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:25, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
There seems to be some significance in the "Paoa family" as a notable family during the kingdom.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:47, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
What does that mean? I changed that because the subject is related to the Royal family but not directly as the article actually states.--Mark Miller (talk) 01:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
"American of ethnic Hawaiian background competition swimmer" seems like it could be worded much more succinctly as: "ethnic Hawaiian American competitive swimmer"
"competition swimmer" isn't grammatically correct 184.99.147.110 (talk) 05:04, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

There is a statue of an early surfing legend at Waikiki Beach as I remember from visits there in the mid-1990's; isn't the statue of Duke? Shocking Blue (talk) 20:41, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
